SAN DIEGO – San Diego State University is excited to announce that it will host the annual USA Track and Field (USATF) San Diego-Imperial Association Summer Nights Track and Field All-Comers and Red-Black Intrasquad Meet once again this year. The event will take place Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024 at the Choc Sportsman Oval on the Aztrack Sports Deck.
The meet will kick off at 10 a.m. with field events including the pole vault, discus throw, shot put, triple jump, and high jump. Running events will begin at 10:30 a.m. with the men’s and women’s 4x200 meters relays, following a “rolling schedule.”
“San Diego State’s women’s track and field kicks off its season with the annual Red-Black Meet,” said Head Coach Shelia Burrell. “We want to continue our efforts to provide opportunities for the local track and field community, alumni, families, and friends to compete on our campus and see our team and staff. Participants will be running, jumping, and throwing side-by-side with our Aztecs. In 2024, San Diego State placed second at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships and second at the Outdoor Championships. With hard work, combined with our strong incoming class, we are looking to win both titles in 2024.”
USATF San Diego-Imperial Association President, Paul Greer, added, “The Red-Black Meet will be the first of 10 Summer Nights Track and Field Series meets offered by the Association. Summer Nights meets are sponsored through local institutions like San Diego State and provide opportunities for all members of the community, ages 2 to 92, to participate in track and field.”
